DIRECTIONS

4 Melt the cheese in the mixture and softly reduce the liquid to approximately three tablespoons

5 Cook the pasta as usual

6 Mix the liquid and about a quarter of the content in the skillet through the pasta

7 Put the pasta on a plate, top with more spinach and bacon from the skillet and garnish with a few black olives and small cherry tomatoes.

I used Roquefort, but any blue cheese will do. If you don't like the strong taste of blue cheese and like to have your spinach a little more creamier, you can either add a bit of cream with the wine or substitute blue cheese with mascarpone, ricotta or another cream cheese
